Newburgh Waterfront

Newburgh, New York

Great Black-backed Gull, from “The birds of America; from drawings made in the United States and their territories” (1840), Biodiversity Heritage Library

In the winter, the Newburgh waterfront is a great place to see waterfowl and eagles and to search for Orange County rarities among the thousands of gulls that congregate on the river in the late afternoon. Bring a scope, or a friend who has one!
